I was shopping with my kiddos yesterday, getting some last minute bits-n-bobs for stocking stuffers n such. At one point, I looked over my shoulder and saw someone standing to my right. Of course I recognized her – my reflection in a mirror. But for a moment, I was surprised to see my face and how chubby it looked.
I was really happy after losing that 30 lbs to see how much my face had slimmed down. It seemed to have the most changes from my weight loss, so that was nice. But not only have I gained weight (since my recent lowest) but I’ve been having more salt than usual as well, and it’s showing.
It’s frustrating but it’s also just a reminder that I need to catch myself… now.
- I went and saw New Moon last night, the 2nd installment of Twilight, as most of you already know. And seriously, if they could get some scrawny kid to look like THAT – that just shows what hard work and dedication can do. It isn’t normal for teenage boys to look like that with just recreationally working out – which is what I do, so if I want to take this further, I’ve got to push myself further. And seeing him having accomplished that, was really encouraging – I can take this as far as I want…
I talked to hubman last night about getting back on plan, both of us. He was working out so much but stopped several weeks ago as life was starting to get so busy and we pushed that further and further down on our list of priorities. (Just an FYI, DH recently got a new job, which has been exciting, but it’s also changed A LOT for us financially and that is a challenge) – anyway, so yeah, having him on board is awesome.
Anyway, I am just curious as to what life holds in store for me when I work and accomplish my goals – not just with the way I’ll look and feel, but also with the changes that will happen in my mind once I believe in myself, believe in my abilities? I know I’ve talked about this many, many times – but seriously, this is more than a scale-going-down story, and those changes in our minds take time, and that’s okay with me, so long as I get closer!
Tell me about it! My husband has been teasing me about my getting bigger tummy and legs. But yes, if they can do it, we can too, most definitely! Happy holidays!

Kaith – I hope he’s teasing you because he loves your round, feminine features! Because if he’s teasing in a mean way, I’m gonna kick him in the shin!! lol Happy Holidays to you, too, Kaith – I’ve tried to find you on your blog, and I can’t!
